I feel like other streaming platforms will follow the same process as they’ve proven it’s worked.

    Why are you so upset about people watching Netflix? Given this news, it’s clear that most subscribers couldn’t care one way or another about password sharing.

    Don’t let Internet forums be your guide to public sentiment, you’ll be disappointed.

      I‘m already disappointed in people, this is barely making a dent, all that happened is the comment made me of think of a funny quote and then this other guy had to regale me with this “Netflix is priceless” crap, and now I get you heroes here advocating for the sorry ass corporation too. What a mistake of me to even be on social media at all, if it‘s just supposed to be a popular sentiment marketing circlejerk!

        As I said, as a parent having a ready stream of endless Childrens content available at any time on any device in any place is priceless, and definitely worth the $20 a month or whatever it is you pay for it.

      Actually, buying anything means you participate in the marketing circle jerk. That’s what George Carlin taught me.

        It’s unfortunate that George Carlin gets taken out of context so often. Also the insane amount of disdain for regular people who just want to sit on a couch, watch a show, and shitpost about it in a group chat with friends.

        I guess some folks are really into pirating, and that’s whatever, but I work a 40hr workweek and go out with people regularly. $15 to netflix or $50/mo across a couple subscriptions is simply cheaper than any effort I need put into caring about pirating anything.
